rmpc52 says "Pleased with the Sears corded Reciprocating 6 amp saw" about Craftsman 6 amp Corded Reciprocating Saw with Dual LED Work Lights

I received this unexpectedly for Christmas. Had never had one before, and initially wondered where I"d use it. Lo and behold, a small demolition project came up at church. At the last moment, I thought to bring the saw with me. Another guy brought his Milwaukee saw, and I initially stepped back and let him have at the work.

In short order, however, he was having problems. I stepped in and my Sears saw was the hero of the day.

As with another reviewer, I found the "headlight" effectively useless, but I was impressed with the power and the maneuverability of the saw in general.

I've not tried it on metal yet, but for general wood cutting, this is a fine machine.

SuperBlackS14 says "Blade Retention Issues" about Craftsman 6 amp Corded Reciprocating Saw with Dual LED Work Lights

SuperBlackS14 — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:08:12 GMT

The saw is a great price, from a good manufacturer. I already returned one because the Blade Rentetion system is apparently not designed to have force applied (like that of actually cutting something) because with 2 saws now, my blade has popped out multiple times when working on metal or wood... I actually needed this to install new Subframe Bushings on my car, and it refuses to cut through the RUBBER let alone the metal. Aside from that, it looks nice, seems to have a fair amount of power and is lightweight, plus the LEDs come in handier than you might think, but as it stands, that blade retention system simply needs to be changed, because it looses all it's good points if it cannot cut anything substantial.Also, the Sears Employee that helped me, and exchanged the first one, were spectacular. Very helpful and courteous.

Great little saw...good cutting action and sturdy...a bit heavy after a while and it could use a safety button or switch.

Penwellsm says "Orbital Reciprocating Saw" about Craftsman 17196 10 amp Corded Orbital Reciprocating Saw

Penwellsm — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 23:40:34 GMT

Easy blade change. But I would recommend buying more blades the one that it comes with doesn't last to long. Other then that its a good saw for the price and has worked on everything I've used it on.

pds1506 says "Good saw for the money" about Craftsman 17196 10 amp Corded Orbital Reciprocating Saw

I shopped around extensively for a reciprocating saw and decided this was the best buy for the money. It has good power, quick blade change and comes with a carrying case. The reason I preferred this model over the Craftsman Professional was the lighter weight. It is almost 4 pounds lighter. If your not using this saw daily for demolition, it should be more than enough and you will have the advantage of the lighter weight. I also recommend the Craftsman blades. These types of saws are great for cutting branches the the blade set includes a pruning blade.

draylewis says "Reciprocating saw is necessary for home renovation" about Craftsman Professional 27224 12 amp Corded Reciprocating Saw

draylewis — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 04:32:40 GMT

This saw was a gift last Christmas and utilized in a bathroom renovation. It exceeded my expectations by a lot. Easily cut through nails and wood, to remove a half wall. The fact that the head rotates 360 degrees makes it even easier to maneuver and makes quick work out of any task. It is extremely powerful but easy to handle. I like the color scheme as well and I would also recommend buying the professional blade set that Sears offers, they perform well together. Great tool.

I bought this as I have other tools in the C3 system, and this one is no disappointment. It's very powerful as with other C3 tools and never ran into an issue with the battery.

msturgell says "Priced right, powerful and practical" about Craftsman 17196 10 amp Corded Orbital Reciprocating Saw

msturgell — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:57:48 GMT

I bought this saw to do some bathroom romodelling and have only begun to test it, but so far it has cut smoothly through drywall and was easy to handle so I cut straight lines. I've cut through metal and hardwood as well with no problems. I need to cut out some iron inside an old tractor rim, which will really test this tool, but I haven't gotten to that job yet. Overall, I am pleased that I made a great purchase (even got this on sale) for a tool that does what it is supposed to do.

drewman916 says "New Toy" about Craftsman 6 amp Corded Reciprocating Saw with Dual LED Work Lights

drewman916 — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:34:21 GMT

I just bought this today for 29.99. Although I have not used it yet, I am happy and disapointed with it. It seems lightweight, and handy for around the home, has a built in light which could be nice for under cabinets or atics. I did plug it in and it does seem to have decent power. My dislikes are there is no case and it only came with one blade. For the price I paid for it and the One Year Warranty it comes with, I am not going to complain.

Msmithiron says "Craftsman 6 amp Reciprocating Saw is a great deal." about Craftsman 6 amp Corded Reciprocating Saw with Dual LED Work Lights

Purchased saw on sale for $30 to use on older home wall project. Started using on this old 3/4" drywall from hell. At first it did ok. After about 10 minutes of use it would not cut. Got upset. Then I noticed there were no teeth left on the Dewalt blade-looked like a butter knife. Started changing blades regularly and have been very pleased since. Even cut 2" steel pipe with little problem. Best tool purchase I have made in a while.
